  • My father’s genealogy efforts have brought him into contact with more family, most of which he never would have found without. It has had no effect on his immediate family, and he is a great Dad. Maybe you just coincidentally know people who use it as a crutch to replace their broken family relationships.

    Edit: Do I upvote this because I don’t agree with it?








  • But you don’t have a right for your child to endanger someone else’s child. Obviously there is a blurry line there e.g., if my kid has a PB&J he might endanger the welfare of a child with nut allergies. Are we going to ban nuts? Probably not, because not enough kids can get sick from them to warrant that kind of action.

    Everyone’s kids can get measles. Or covid. Or polio. Or -insert preventable disease here-

    Therefore everyone’s kids should get vaccinated. I get that our government does shady shit sometimes, but people without any scientific background take that and then believe that vaccines are some huge conspiracy.

    It’s not.

    Science proves they work and do not harm you belong a tiny margin of fringe cases where people have severe side effects (like less than 0.1% of ppl).













  • I definitely don’t see gen X as anywhere close to boomers. Especially on the Internet. Gen X is much more technically literate than their predecessors.

    Side note: writing the vague generalized names for entire generations makes me want to vomit. Although the majority of boomers definitely do seem to adhere to the “I got mine fuck you and yours” mentality that completely disregards the context that different generations live and grow up in, there were awesome boomers who were anti war, anti capitalist, and down with free love and expression. Just like on the flip side there are shitty right wing millennials and even gen Zers now out there trolling and even believing the vile shit that gets spewed onto social media.
